Predicting process behaviour of bio based compostables (Procomp)

长期以来，全球生物聚合物行业的增长障碍一直是生产一种生物基、低成本和可家庭堆肥的材料。Biome Bioplastics已经确定了一种潜在的方法，可以生产一种可以在较低温度（~ 25 ℃）下成功堆肥的材料，而不是工业标准温度（~ 55 ℃）。这种新等级的材料保持了与现有等级的（非家庭可堆肥的）生物聚合物。这使得它在生物聚合物市场上成为极具吸引力的产品，具有强大的竞争优势-由于更有利的生命周期结束凭据。Biome希望对这种材料进行进一步的分析，以更深入地了解可堆肥性变化的根本原因，从而扩大可以使用这种材料开发的产品。这将使Biome能够完善和监测关键测量，以提高商业规模的产品质量和一致性，并开拓更多的市场。

A long-established barrier to growth for the global biopolymer industry has been producing a grade of material that is bio-based, low cost and home compostable.Biome Bioplastics have determined a potential method to produce a material that can be successfully composted at lower temperatures (~25oC), rather than the industry standard temperature (~55oC).This new grade of material keeps very similar material properties to existing grades of (non-home compostable) biopolymers. This makes it an extremely attractive product within the biopolymer market, with a strong competitive edge - due to more favourable end of life credentials.Biome wish to conduct further analysis of this material to gain a deeper understanding of the root causes of the changes to the compostability in order to broaden the products that can be exploited using this material. This will enable Biome to refine and monitor key measurements to improve product quality and consistency at commercial scale and exploit additional markets.
